The answer is A.
Of the enzymes on the list shown, only acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase directly produces a product, malonyl CoA, that is an allosteric regulator of another enzyme on the list. Malonyl CoA is the product of the first step in fatty acid synthesis, which occurs during a time of excess acetyl CoA due to satisfied energy and caloric needs of tissues.
Malonyl CoA allosterically inhibits carnitine acyl transferase I, which is the major regulatory enzyme of fatty acid oxidation. Fatty acid oxidation occurs during a time of energy need. Thus, when fatty acids are being synthesized during a time of “plenty,” the breakdown of fatty acids is shut off.
